In the line of routers, Google Nest has introduced a new network router with Wi-Fi 6

First introduced in 2016, Google Wi-Fi routers provide a fast and stable Internet connection at your home. The Internet connection is on a “web” network. Besides, Google made it as simple as possible to manage devices.

A bit of history

The original Google Wi-Fi, just like its second version, uses the same hardware as a regular home router that connects to your modem.
In 2019, the line included two different pieces of hardware – a router Nest and an access point Nest Wi-Fi. By the way, the access point uses double features, acting as a Google Assistant speaker.

Google plans to bring back the unified design of the original Google Wi-Fi. You can buy a new Nest Wi-Fi for 1, 2, or 3 pieces in a box, depending on your needs or the area coverage of your home. But for now, we can’t say that the new router, like its predecessor, will be equipped with a Google Assistant speaker.

Pros of Wi-Fi 6 in the updated router

Back in 2019, due to the official launch of the Wi-Fi 6 standard, the Nest Wi-Fi became obsolete in the eyes of some enthusiasts. Now Google has confirmed that the new devices will benefit from Wi-Fi 6 and possibly even Wi-Fi 6E.

Ideally, the Google Wi-Fi router with Wi-Fi 6 support will run at 9.6 Gbps, which is a significant improvement compared to 3.5 Gbps, the maximum value for Wi-Fi 5. When you upgrade individual network devices to those that support Wi-Fi 6, you will notice an improvement in network performance.

The new Wi-Fi 6E standard will also use the third 6 GHz spectrum to counteract potential interference.

Turn on and forget.

Although Wi-Fi 6E does not directly affect your maximum Internet speed, it should bring you closer to the “best case scenario” for your local network. Plus, you don’t need to know much about Wi-Fi 6 or 6E because Google Wi-Fi makes it easy.

There are rumors that the updated Google router will release in several colors. The new device will have a color palette that will complement existing devices released by Google this year.
